Mitchell Brown - Alumni

Mitchell Brown was a student at 91ئقسر from 2005-2014. During his time here at the College, Mitchell loved the Live@91ئقسر event that happens at the end of every term in the Secondary Years and said it “was a really special time being in community together celebrating the success and skill of our peers.â€‌ He believes 91ئقسر was the perfect environment for him to grow and discover his God-given purpose.

After graduating, Mitchell went on to do the Year 13 Gap Program with Youthworks College before starting an apprenticeship that he unable to continue after a year due to injury. He began studying a Bachelor of Theology at SMBC and took up the role as Youth Pastor at Kellyville Anglican Church for 4 years during this time he married his wife, Kate. In 2021 he moved to work part time at William Clarke College as the Chaplain, while also running a small online business. Looking ahead, Mitchell hopes to aid or start Christian ministries in various forms that are interwoven with business models to create financially self-sufficient Christian ministries.

Mitchell offers some great advice to our current students. “You need to â€کpick your hard’. Don't go through school trying to avoid hard things because life out of school is a challenge whatever you choose to do. As Thomas Edison says, "Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work." I have spent many years trying to undo bad 'work avoidance' practices I began in high school! I wish I had learnt earlier to overcome a challenge rather than seek to avoid it or reach the bare minimum.â€‌
